Upon arrival, you will have time to explore the surrounding area, meet your trekking team, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Imlil offers beautiful views of terraced fields, walnut groves, and traditional Berber houses built into the mountainside.
In the evening, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner and spend the night in a comfortable local guesthouse or mountain lodge.

Day 2: Imlil – Toubkal Refuge
Today your trekking adventure truly begins. After breakfast, you start walking through the beautiful Mizane Valley.
The trail passes through the village of Aremd, one of the largest settlements in the valley, offering a glimpse into traditional Berber mountain life. From here, the path continues towards the sacred shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, an important spiritual site visited by both pilgrims and travelers.
After crossing the river and climbing steadily along mule trails, the landscape becomes more rugged and alpine. The trail gradually ascends to the Toubkal Refuge at 3,206 meters, where you will spend the night.
Approximate walking time: 4–5 hours
Day 3: Toubkal Summit – Return to Imlil – Marrakech
An early start is essential today as you begin your ascent toward the summit of Mount Toubkal.
The trail climbs steeply through the southern cirque above the refuge. Although the route is technically straightforward, the altitude and loose scree make the ascent physically challenging. However, the breathtaking scenery and sense of achievement make every step worthwhile.
Upon reaching the summit at 4,167 meters, you will be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views stretching from the Marrakech plains in the north to the Anti-Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert in the south.
After spending time at the summit for photos and rest, you descend back to the refuge before continuing down to Imlil. From there, a transfer will take you back to Marrakech.
Approximate walking time: 8–9 hours
Day 4: Marrakech
Spend your final hours in Marrakech, exploring the vibrant medina, visiting local markets, or relaxing in a traditional café before your departure.
This marks the end of your Toubkal trekking adventure.
